Default Volcano Shocks debate

Ok, I'm getting some new shocks for my volcano. Do I get the T-maxx Big Bore aluminum shocks or do I get the redcat aluminum shocks used on the tsunami ultra wide and volcano sv pro?

Be Aware...the T-Max shocks are pretty Fat and are a Tight fit at the rear. SOME modification is Neccessary and you May need to use a Dremel tool to shave a few places Flat. They Work Great Tho!

If you dont want to Modify, Then I would go with the Aluminum Upgrade from Redcat. They GOTTA be better than the Plastic STOCKIES.Lol!

But if you wanna do stuff like Me n Kuppler, You should take the plunge and fit the T-maxx Shocks

I have heard (From Reliable sources) that the Resevoir shocks are just a Gimmick.
In Real Life, the resevoir has Valves and Actually Controls oil flow.
In RC, they just sit there and Look Cool. No real Functionality.
